True. At the same time, it exposes quite a lot of information, e.g.
structure of the tree. I don't know how much of that could be used
in a plain-text attack.
Note, however, that I don't really know ecryptfs. I only briefly
looked at encfs and was horrified by some of its design choices.
Maybe ecryptfs is better. Meanwhile, however, I chose to stay with
dm-crypt, which simply seems saner.
